Zu diesem Anlass haben wir bewusst vier ganz besondere Künstler ausgewählt, von denen drei in diesem Jahr ein neues oder sogar ihr erstes Album auf Kompakt veröffentlicht haben: The Field, Kölsch, Hunter/Game und Weval geben sich die Ehre. Um für unser kompaktes Mini-Festival den passenden Rahmen zu schaffen, werden wir in Kooperation mit dem internationalen Musikfestival c/o pop am Freitag, den 26. August für eine Nacht in eine der schönsten Konzertvenues der Domstadt, das Gloria Theater, einziehen. Im Anschluß zieht die Karawane aber natürlich noch weiter: Im Gewölbe, dem Kompakt-Lieblingsclub am Hans-Böckler-Platz, laden wir zur After-Show bis in die frühen Morgenstunden ein. Tickets zur Total 16 sind ab sofort bei uns im Kölner Plattenladen, in unserem Online-Webshop oder über c/o pop erhältlich. Informiert bleiben mit unserem Facebook-Event!

For the first time in the long history of the yearly Total events, Kompakt presents a show only filled with some of our best live acts. On this occasion we have chosen four very special artists, three of which have released albums on Kompakt this year: The Field, Kölsch, Hunter/Game and Weval will do the honors. To make all of this happen in an appropriate environment, we teamed up with c/o pop Festival and chose to the beautiful Gloria Theatre as our venue, one of the best concert locations you can find in Cologne. Then shortly after the last bass drum has been kicked, everybody´s invited to join the after show party at Gewölbe Club, where our favourite DJs will entertain you until the early morning. Tickets for Total 16 are now available at our brick and mortar record store in Cologne, our online web shop or via c/o pop. Stay up to date with our facebook event!
